QUEERS?

“

...when the LGBTIAQ+ movement embraces the rainbow metaphorically, it is a gesture that refuses co option, erasure and a deliberate political move to try to make difference link with freedom rather than annihilation.”

In her book Reflecting Rogue, Professor Pumla Dineo Gqola reminds us that “when the LGBTIAQ+ movement embraces the rainbow metaphorically, it is a gesture that refuses cooption, erasure and a deliberate political move to try to make difference link with freedom rather than annihilation.” With that, and cognisant of the attention on Pride Month, it is only fitting to highlight how climate change impacts Queer communities to truly appreciate that this month is founded on protest and complexities faced

Towards a just transition that is just...

Sustainability practices along with its growing canon of knowledge, emphasise people in approaches to mitigation, resilience and adaptation as part of just transition efforts. Various experts and insights spotlight existing socio economic inequalities and legacies in relation to development. What is clear are concerted efforts to prepare for a future that transforms us into a cohesive and sustainable society. It is critical to look at the communities prioritised, and resources directed to action. Countless points of views draw on indigenous practices, the role of responsible corporates, government, existing & developing infrastructures, civil society, community movements, environmental research to (re)imagine a future where humanity can survive the effects of climate change However, despite this body of work, the presence of Queer communities as a demographic that needs to be catered for is slim There are several socio economic structures that inhibit communities from participating in climate change discussions

What is clear are concerted efforts to prepare for a future that transforms us into a cohesive and sustainable society. It is critical to look at the communities prioritised, and resources directed to action.

QUEER CAPITAL MATTERS

A R E T H E

Q U E E R S ?

HOME IS BOTH A PLACE AND A FEELING

From a research perspective, insufficient resources have been directed towards engaging the communities across South Africa in understanding and responding to their specific climate vulnerabilities. Relying on global knowledge, a study by Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago revealed that LGBTQIAP+ youth are 120% more likely to be left homeless. Queer communities are vulnerable to homelessness because of discrimination and harm stemming from homophobia Inaccessibility to housing, and by extension climate resilient housing translates to a compounded strain on shelters and psychosocial complications of belonging As it stands, NGOs largely carry the responsibility of caring for Queer youth through homes, negotiating for access to education, employment, health, and legal services. These organisations are also faced with limited funding and resource capacity Government entities boast of building an inclusive society, and yet insufficient resources are directed towards Queer communities in response to climate change as a present issue and strengthening safety nets needed for the crisis

Climate shocks also draw our attention to citizenship as a social status that can come into jeopardy resulting from forced immigration. From the droughts in Ethiopia, Cyclone Idai in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi to most recently the Kwa Zulu Natal floods that destabilised communities which Queer people are a part of Despite South Africa’s legislation which afford rights and protections to Queer communities, there are still persistent homophobic and afrophobic views that place vulnerable communities at risk.

From an economic standpoint, there is ongoing research on the power of the Pink Rand a phrase meant to reflect the buying power of the LGBTQIAP+ communities According to findings by the LGBT Capital, the global LGBTQIAP+ consumer power in 2018 was estimated to be $3.6 trillion (est. R55,8 trillion). Closer to home, The Pink Rand study found that the spending power of the LGBTQIAP+ community in South Africa to be R53 billion R204 billion These studies take into account various factors for economic measurements, and serve as a knowledge base on spending trends, consumer behaviours and characteristics as well as LGBTQIAP+ owned and led businesses that contribute to this Pink economy

A closer look at the South African context reveals that most financially excluded Queer people are young and Black Because Queer communities are forced to navigate an economically exclusionary system, they are also most likely to face discrimination in accessing emergency disaster relief. Reflections from ongoing studies show that climate disasters have a disproportionate impact on low income areas, Black & indigenous communities, women, disabled people and asylum seekers. “Leave no one behind” a statement, principle and practice that seeks to affirm the importance of moving forward in unity National just transition policies and interventions should take this approach in understanding how Queer communities are affected by the climate crisis There is no better future if marginalised communities continue to be relegated to the fringes of society

MONKEY POX

MMonkey Pox is not a sexually transmitted infection Misinformation has undermined public health efforts, and has hit the LGBTQ+ community hard.

Health Officials around the world are struggling to raise awareness about the virus, sadly, too little too late. The LGBTQ+ community has already been stigmatised and Monkey Pox has been filtered through the gay community as a sexually transmitted infection.

Scientists have yet to discover if the virus is spread via semen or vaginal fluids, evidence exists that the virus DNA is found in semen.

Monkey Pox has been around since the 1970’s and was not regarded as a sexually transmitted infection.The global case counts hovered at around 26 000 infections in 80 countries. In July 2022, the World Health Organisation “recommended that gay and bisexual men limit their numbers of sexual partners to protect themselves from monkey and slow the the rate of transmission” – we find that deplorable.

Sexual contact is NOT the only way that this virus is spread. Close contact, via unwashed clothes and linen, working with infected animals (hunting etc) and self limiting outbreaks within a household

The primary spread is human to human. Via direct contact with infectious sores, bodily fluids and respiratory secretions, like any face to face infections. Scientists have yet to discover if the virus is spread via semen or vaginal fluids, evidence exists that the virus DNA is found in semen. Some experts say that although sex is a perfect conduit for monkey pox to be transmitted, the virus in NOT exclusively a sexually transmitted disease, therefore cannot be deemed a sexually transmitted disease. That is it is not a sexually transmitted disease, but it is a disease that can be transmitted through sexual contact. That goes for herpes, HPV and syphilis which are not exclusively transmittable through sexual behaviour but also contracted through skin to skin contact.

Therefore…deeming it a sexually transmitted disease, is very misleading

means nothing if you

I am...mom, a wife to be, a sibling, a friend, an aunt, a prominent churchgoer, oh and a student Whoooo! It is a lot But I love being in all these roles, it is challenging at times However, all these roles fulfill me Being a mom and an aunt entails being completely overwhelmed (in the best way possible) by love, joy, responsibility, and selflessness

name...

I was named by my grandmother, Margret Chabane, and my mom ’ s aunt, Mantshebo Chabane They named me after one of my aunts We are from the Basotho tribe; great grandfather ran away from the whites in Lesotho many moons ago The meaning behind my name is blessing or consolation

I was raised by my grandparents and uncles I remember waiting for my grandfather (Sello Chabane), at the kitchen door after school Seeing him walk from the train station after work as a garden boy When he got home, we would sit under the fig tree He would give me his lunch sandwich and tell me that I must study hard and become a doctor We had these conversations even when I was older and had joined the South African Military Health Services He was so proud and kept reminding me of what his vision is for me This makes me emotional I miss him every day May he continue to shine his light on me

"He (my grandfather) would give me his lunch and tell me that I must study hard and become a doctor.

Work

I started working as a key populations project manager in 2018, supporting implementing partners who were providing services to men who have sex with men and transgender women. I felt there was not enough innovation, then began conceptualizing POP INN clinics, which we launched in 2019, October. As an ally, I am passionate about providing safe spaces for the LGBTQIA community. A space where you can be yourself without discrimination, where you can access health care services without being stigmatized, and be part of the safe space community to share your experiences and assist in sensitizing the general community.

on Activism

Activism has played a significant role in challenging dictatorships, legalizing same sex marriages, promoting gender equality, opposing racism, and a variety of other important issues So, I believe that if I stand for what I am passionate about and for something that is a basic need of the LGBTQI community, I am adding to the hard work that the community embarked on many moons ago I urge more public health specialists to join the movement

on Sex Education

Sex education materials frequently assume heterosexual and non transgender people Many sex education curricula make no mention of sexual orientation or gender identity, and those that do so in a negative light This not only prevents LGBT people from learning the information and skills they need to stay healthy, but it also contributes to an exclusionary climate in schools, where LGBT students are already frequently targets of bullying and discrimination Gender education and sexual health are linked Comprehensive sex education is effective in reducing high risk sexual behaviors, promoting safer sex practices, and preventing sexually transmitted infections Because the LGBTQIA+ community has a higher rate of negative sexual health outcomes than their heterosexual counterparts, they would benefit the most from the effective and inclusive sex education that POP INN provides

Organised and Working

This is my favorite part The Aurum Institute established four POP INN Clinics in response to the unmet needs of our key population communities Tembisa, Nelspruit (Ehlanzeni), Pietermaritzburg, and eThekwini are the permanent clinic locations

The POP INN clinics meet the unique needs of our Men who Sleep with Men and Transgender Women, fostering a stronger sense of belonging and acceptance MSM The clinics provide a safe space for key populations communities to receive counseling, HIV, STI screening and treatment, and Tb screening and treatment, daily and event driven PrEP (also known as PrEP on demand) or ART, psychosocial support services, Gender Affirming Health Care inclusive of hormonal therapy, and any treatment of any other minor illnesses The clinics also offer free Wi Fi, computer access, and a relaxing environment in which to connect with peers

The POP INN Clinics were created in response to the specific health care and psychosocial needs of MSM and TGW Routine services do not meet the needs of key populations, which is exacerbated by stigma and a lack of awareness about LGBTQI+ health needs

We provide sensitization training to our colleagues in the Department of Health to ensure that they are familiar with the needs of key populations

Childhood

My great grandmother, who gave birth to my grandfather, who is the father to my mother would wrap left over bread in newspaper from her breakfast in the morning, and every time when we come back from school, my sister and I would go see her and tell her about the interesting events that took places during the day at school.

She would then narrate what she heard on the radio on the news or the latest episode of a Nguni drama series that played in the midday show, ask us to make tea and reach for thebreadthatiscoveredwithnewspapers,preservedforus.

We would be having hot tea, in our dirty clothes we wore from the day before, hot, but enjoying the bread on tea with theinterestingthingsshewassaying.

What'sIn What'sIn aName aName

I remember I had a conversation with my mom and dad but at different times in my life about who named me, I’m using my mom ’ s surname, which is Nkosi, Swati cos my grandfather is Swati and my late grandmother is Ndebele My father’s surname is Sthebe (Xithebe) Tsonga, which when I’m asked “Omo kae” or“Umhlobobani”IquicklysayI’mTsonga,fromMozambique,youcanimagine the expressions I get, especially if I’ve already said my name and surname, whichisVeeKaNkosi…

Mom says she named me, dad also says he named me Vincent I can sort of believe dad ‘ cause his uncle was Victor and he's also named Victor, which my aunt corroborates, to say ive been named after their uncle… Mom named me Bheki which in my understanding means ‘to look after’… and no, it’s not Bhekumuzi or Bhekizizwe or whatever Bheki what what is out there, it’s just Bheki

But interestingly, I've always wanted a Tsonga name, and with a conversation with mom or dad i asked why they didn’t name me “Nkhensani” which means Gratitude/to give thanks, “Tinyiko” which mean Gift, “Nhlamulo” which means to answer… but I was stuck with Vincent Bheki Nkosi. So, I lean more and prefer VeeKaNkosi

Gender Justice

...is not a tweet. It needs to begin with the unwanted, uncomfortable and confrontational conversations with role players that need to care, protect and serve all humans regardless of how they present. To sensitize all these majority population groups that are occupying structures that influence decisions. Protect, serve, with DIGNITY and RESPECT.

Education

There was a gap that was not filled with the already existing structures, and that made us lose lives, both physical and non physical Gender queer and gender diverse persons didn’t have the opportunity to really access services, in a safer, comfortable space and interact with like minded people The gap had to be closed, hence the major work around gender education and sexual health

Broken down binaries and berries in the bedroom, I automatically think of sexual pleasure, I think ‘ cause we sexual beings having a human experience…so definitely sexualpleasurewouldbeontopofmyAGENDA…

As a GAY man we are face with binaries and boxes that set barriers and this is with “roles” and with that comes certain limitations. As a, both masculine and feminine presenting body my sexual pleasure and LIBERATIONS would be limited to someone lack of, were if I were to date a “strictly Top” (Don’t ask me about these ROLE, they are a lot and change all the time, I can’t keep up) I won’t be able to explore four paly orpenetrationonthebasesofsomeone’s“role”

Loveis

My sister texting me, passed my ‘ come back’ home time and asking if I’m okay and if coming home When my dad calls me “Sthandwa Sam” A video call with my grandfather when I’m not at home. Providing for my family. Love is forgiving my 2018 ex for leaving me without a reason. Love is when I drop everythingbecausemyfriendneedsme.

Love is a breath, love is light, love is movement. Love is experiences that will make you never forget how they made you feel, in the context of being happy Love is a memory, a smile, long text/paragraphs you send to that one person at 2 AM. Love is thought, being considered. Love asking, are you okay, what can I do for you? What do you need?... love is choosing, to be present, to do, even in moments you don’t feel likeit

At theendof alongdayI am...

Calm, drinking I’ngud’ yeBlack Label in the comfort of my own space in my thoughts about life and how I could better myself. Asking if I'd ever find love in all its truest form.

As a child...

Well my child hood memory is actually my involvement in sports activities and specifically soccer back line defence which when I started showing or coming out most wanted to say but you grew up playing soccer and being part of all naughty activities heterosexual boys would do. I am Gay oksalayo!

What they call me...

Happiness Child; I was named by my mom surely my Dad just said yes without adding and I think the folks were Happy and it had nothing to do with me unless they saw it from the beginning that Happy Gay or something but I totally love the name unisex as f*ck but look I am misgendered most of the time and usually they say we thought you are a girl Happiness Is the four letter word #Love

Riding for me

My family played a critical role in shaping who I am with support, love and protection. Media informed me. Having support from my immediate family was the best protection, because look, you will not even try to terrorise my life in any way My family will come for you with everything

Riding for me

South Africa is quite a fair country with beautiful constitution and policies that speaks to protection of everyone regardless of their sexual orientation The implementation of those policies and constitution is the issue Hate Crimes #AmINext we are being killed randomly so it depends which corner and position I am sitting in It's not safe!

When I work...

I have pushed quite a lot of projects that enhance Human Rights in the past 12 years and I am currently a project coordinator responsible for PR and Media Coordination at Aurum POP INN programme and am actually about information dissemination and creating awareness about all things POP INN.

My activism is very important simply because every voice matters and my active involvement in the issue could be what is needed to shift or push for that certain Human Rights policy.

AURUM POP INN offer free sexual health services to Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) and Transgender Women (TGW) in Tembisa,Mbombela, Pietermaritzburg, Pretoria and Durban. The centres provide a safe space for key population communities to receive counselling, screening for HIV, STIs and TB, receive PrEP or ART, and receive psycho social support services. The centres also provide free Wi-Fi, access to computers and a comfortable space to relax and connect with peers.

What's in your libido pills and topical ointments?

This is not medical advice, rather product information.

As a result of adverse effects reported for prescription medications for women ’ s health, women are turning to botanicals. Most of these are found in over the counter libido enhancing tablets, for a quick libido boost when you feel the need for a little bit of a lift.As a rule of thumb, I have shied away from these magical little tablets. I have opted for a topical serum or lube. Offering this to the many ladies who query about their lack of libido, or, lack of orgasms.

Let's take a look

Dong Quai also know as, “female ginseng” known for its libido enhancing capacities in women, treat infertility and ease menstrual cramps. Studies have shown dong Quai in different forms will increase female libido and is often used in alternative hormonal treatment.

Ashwagandha known to aid in revitalising passion by boosting hormone levels. DHEA (boosting bone density and regulates hormones): it is also known to increase female libido and increase clitoral sensitivity.

Gingo Biloba: Usually known to increase memory. It has also been found to be a slow acting, but long term sexual enhancer. Nitric oxide improves the blood supply to the clitoris, labia enhancing libido.

Agnes Castus: is another botanical that lifts the mood and enhances sexuality. ·Wild Yam: Besides a myriad of other benefits Wild Yam has for women, it is best known to ease menopausal syndrome. Known as a phytostestroid or plant based steroid, specifically progesterone, which is known to increase libido in women.

While we go into all the benefits of botanicals. It is essential to know that regardless of the benefits, there are pros and cons with all oral tablets and should not be taken lightly. It is best to seek the advise from your consultant.

Super Tabs for Women are not discussed often enough for libido enhancing properties, however used widely for menopausal syndrome; with little or no side effects. You Cannot Un Ring the Bell

It is vital that you are aware of the contraindications that there are when used in conjunction with prescribed medication Certain prescribed medications deplete libido or make it difficult to reach an orgasm. Do not confuse this with your sex drive. Opt for a serum or topical stimulant.
